Tröegs Scratch 17

Formerly brewed at Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Bottled. Poured pale, almost milky golden with a short, easily-resuscitated off-white head. The aroma picked up soft bready notes accented by bananas and mild berries.. a warm, dark honey sweetness emerged with warmth. The flavor found the honey and bread again at the core, with lightly toasted earth, lemon zest, and chalky bitterness around.. more lemon sourness than bitterness on the short, grainy finish. Light-bodied and dry on the palate.. felt OK, but never any better. This was alright, but lacked that nice, somewhat bitter, crisp feel I like from my pilseners.

(12oz bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pours an opaque yellow with nice head and great lacing. Smell is lemony, sour, and refreshing. Taste is sour/bitter dried fruit with a nice carbonation and oily mouthfeel. Getting nice spices in here too.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. cloudy yellow with a white head. nose is hops and some fruits. decent thickness with some slight hops and lemon for the flavor.

(12oz bottle) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a spare white head. Aroma of toasted grain, light lemon, light honey, and florals. Flavor of hops (floral, grass, light lemon) and grain.

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Hazy yellow. Sour pilsner aroma. Sour taste that has bitter elements. Not too great.

12 oz bottle from Capones. Pours a very hazy light blonde/straw with a nice fluffly sticky white head and killer lace. Aroma is light lemon zest, herbal and flowery hops, with hints of bubblegum- tons of fresh doughy pils malts, and ligth crackery hints. Flavor is zesty and herbal hops- flowery, toasted malts, doughy bready pils, with a slight solvent lemon zest kick - light soap, yeasty dough, and continental noble hop floral and spicy kick. Clean and refreshing- dry and a nice medium bitterness. Kind of like an amped up sunshine with slightly different hops.

12oz bottle from Capone’s. Lovely pour, a hazy gold/straw with a nice fluffy head and some appealing sediment floating around (just enough to scream "craft beer" yo). Very sharp and yeasty aroma, with some hallertau or saaz hops in there too. Full mouthfeel and a nice lemongrass quality to the brew. Lengthy dry finish to a very good pils.

Bottle, courtesy markwise. Hazy golden color pour, thin white lacing, spattering of a head. Straw nose, some spices, dry grain and subdued malt. Hazy wheat flavors, some citrus, sweet malt. Thin, kinda flavorless overall, boring.
